I’m a born again Christian. I’ve used writing as a tool for myself for a long time, but I’ve sometimes wondered if my experiences and stories could help others, so here I am, writing them down. Maybe somebody will read them, and maybe they won’t. It isn’t my job to worry about it.

    Honestly

    Honestly, everything has been a lot lately. I’ve been journaling because that’s all that feels manageable. Socializing is hard. Keeping up with the things I have to do is like treading water in a hurricane. Honestly, it has all just been heavy.

    Jesus is quoted in Matthew 11:28-30 as saying the following:

    “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (‭NASB1995‬‬)

    Believe me, I want to take up His yoke instead of the ton ball and chain I’ve given myself, but ditching that chain is hard. I want to. I need to. For some reason, though, I can’t do it.

    I’ve talked about Romans 8:28 before. I know He works all for good for those who love him. I know His Grace and Mercy are good and plentiful, too. Honestly, though, I’m hoping that by putting this out for other people to read, I can remind myself of such things.
